How many smart people have been born in the vast land of China; How many cultural specialties are flowing in the long river of history? These cultural traditions, like exotic flowers and herbs, decorate all kinds of beautiful human cultural grand view gardens with their peculiar forms and interesting beauty. Couplets are one of them.
When the ancients learned Chinese, it was very important to learn couplets. Throughout the ages, many literati, talented people and beautiful women have been paired up, each showing his abilities, leaving valuable cultural heritage and rich anecdotes for future generations.

When Mr. Lu Xun was a child, he had couplet classes when he was studying under Mr. Shou. Once the teacher gave a topic about unicorns. Some students were dissatisfied with the two-headed snake, while others were dissatisfied with the nine-headed bird. Lu Xun nodded in agreement with the flounder. On another occasion, the teacher wrote a five-character couplet: the trapped beast still fights, and Lu Xun was praised by the teacher for herding cattle to the forest.
We are familiar with Ji Xiaolan, a master of Chinese studies in Qing Dynasty. He is not only a bachelor's degree, knowledgeable and brilliant, but also quick-thinking, articulate and enjoys the reputation of iron mouth and copper teeth. At the same time, he is also a master of couplets, leaving many stories in the couplets garden.
On one occasion, Ji Xiaolan went out to play with Emperor Qianlong. During the break, Emperor Qianlong saw two plates of beans on the table, so he wanted to take an examination of Ji Xiaolan. So stop it:
Two dishes of beans;
Ji Xiaolan looked around, thinking about the bottom allied:
One euro of oil.
Do you think Ji Xiaolan's view is correct? )
Gan Long see Ji Xiaolan, and then changed to:
I'm talking about a butterfly fight.
If you were Ji Xiaolan, how would you draw the bottom line? Let's look at Ji Xiaolan's bottom line. what do you think? )
Ji Xiaolan immediately said, "I'm talking about seagulls swimming." .
Qianlong was a very clever emperor. When he found that Ji Xiaolan was right again, he added two words before the first part:
Two butterflies are fighting in the forest;
This is, how is Ji Xiaolan right?
Ji Xiaolan way:
A seagull is swimming on the water.
Gan Long smiled happily. In this way, they enjoy couplets in the process of playing, which is full of interest.

4. Practice writing couplets
After enjoying so many interesting stories, do you still want to write couplets? Then let's try it together.
1. Teacher, here are some upper couplet, please make the lower couplet.
Silk-spinning bees make honey, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and take care of the overall situation.
Painting cakes to satisfy hunger, looking at plums to quench thirst, and reading thousands of books on Wan Li Road.
Happy as the East China Sea, longevity is better than Nanshan, spring scenery is good everywhere, and every family has a new atmosphere.
The home is big, the mountains and rivers are beautiful in winter, and the birds are fragrant in spring.
2. Individuals or groups are right, and students should respond.
I still have some incomplete couplets here, please help me check them.
(1) Fill in the missing words:
Never too old to learn.
Painting is also fine, words are also fine, (fine) (beneficial) (seeking) (fine).
(2) Guess the number:
The Chinese New Year is coming, and every household is busy putting up couplets. A poor old scholar wrote it for himself.
Horizontal criticism: nothing in the north and south.
Part I: One piece (clothes) is missing in two three four five.
Bottom line: six seven eight nine minus ten (food)
Do you know the meaning of this couplet?
(3) The calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is unparalleled and admirable. As soon as the couplets he wrote were posted, they were unveiled at night. It's already New Year's Eve, and the next day is New Year's Day. Seeing that Spring Festival couplets were hung in front of every household in the neighborhood, but there was no one in front of her own house, Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she told her husband to do something.
Wang Xizhi thought and thought, smiled and began to write a pair. After writing, he asked his family to cut out a pair of couplets and stick the first half in front of the door:
Felicity never paired off.
When it rains, it pours/Misfortunes never come singly
Sure enough, someone stole it at night. But when I looked at it in the moonlight, I saw that this couplet was so unlucky. Although Wang Xizhi is a calligrapher, I can't take it away and hang it. He had to slip away.
It was just dawn on the first day of the first month of the first month, and Wang Xizhi personally went out to post a half-cut yesterday. There are many people watching at this time. When you look at it, the couplet becomes:
Happiness has not doubled until now.
It never rains but it pours (last night)
When everyone saw it, they cheered in unison and applauded.
Fourth, appreciate couplets.
